Bought a Prowler Owl last year to protect a house which had about a hundred woodpecker holes in the siding. Siding was patched and painted, and we installed a Prowler Owl on a 7 foot piece of 1/2″ galvanized electrical tubing, braced with guy wire to the house for stability.

A year later, not one hole, no signs of woodpeckers, and the owl is in perfect condition after going through a cold, icy and snowy winter.

A mocking bird was dive-bombing my dachshund in the back yard. I put this up on a chain hanging from my patio cover and immediately there are no birds anywhere near my yard. Wonderful.

I am buying my second Bird-X Owl today. I had a problem with bird droppings around the edges of my above-ground pool two summers ago. I tried 2 styles of owls and this one worked the best by far. Once I put it up, we never had a problem with the birds again.
